About us
SAWE Technologies brings together software engineering, data science, research, and geospatial expertise. We build dependable systems and evidence tools for organisations working on complex, real-world challenges.
We are a Tanzania-based technology company developing advanced digital products, data platforms, and analytical solutions. Our portfolio includes Mangya PDF Reader, Mangya Media Player, and Sawe Stock, alongside custom systems built with partners.
We collaborate with researchers, institutions, businesses, governments, and community organisations across health, agriculture, environment, education, public health, epidemiology, social science, economics, governance, climate, food systems, and community development. Through data science, responsible technology, and careful research practice, we help turn evidence into decisions and lasting community impact.
What we do
Python, Flutter, JavaScript, and SQL for web, Windows, and Android applications.
R, Stata, Python, and SPSS for statistics, modelling, and reproducible reporting.
REDCap, ODK, KoboToolbox, CSPro, and SQL — more than 15 data management projects served.

Access control, TLS, backups, audit logs, and secure handling of research data.
Instruments, field collection, analysis, and maps from protocol through to the report.
How we work
We select technologies according to the problem, required scale, maintainability, and the environment in which the solution will operate.
Catalog
A structured data practice that protects quality, meaning, access, and long-term value.
Bring records in from files, forms, devices, and existing systems.
Find errors, duplicates, and gaps so the data can be trusted.
Design and run databases that hold the information you need.
Combine data from different sources into one consistent flow.
Organise larger collections of data for reporting and analysis.
Keep core records — customers, products, locations — consistent.
Agree who owns the data, how it is used, and how it is kept.
Limit who can see or change information.
Keep copies so work can continue after a failure or mistake.
Store older records for the period they still need to be kept.
Turn stored data into reports people can use.
Move data from an old system to a new one without losing meaning.
Document what the data is, where it came from, and how it is defined.
Present trends and summaries so decisions can be based on evidence.
Partner with our software engineers, data scientists, and research collaborators to create a solution with measurable value.
